Kaelyn really enjoys picking the produce in the garden. She's only so-so on eating tomatos. But she has surprised us this week by asking for some of our salad at mealtime AND eating it. Yes - lettuce and swiss chard. Ate it like a champ. Crazy girl or what? Well interestingly, she's been taking Juice Plus supplements (they are just whole food fruits and vegetables in a gummy form, rather than a daily vitamin). Recently I read their research that says that it takes your body 4 months to change at a cellular level (your cells die off constantly and within 4 months they are all new cells). When kids take these Juice Plus supplements for 4 months, their bodies start craving vegetables b/c their cells are now used to "eating" the fruits and veggies that are in the supplements. So when I saw her eating the salad it was a miracle before my eyes!!!
